Rice balls

How to make it

1. 1

   The rice is washed in cold water, scalded in 3 lots of boiling water, put over the heat in the boiling milk, and boiled down to a firm porridge.

2. 2

   The sugar, the vanilla and the blanched, finely chopped almonds are now added.

3. 3

   When the porridge is quite cold, it is shaped into round balls or like pears, rolled in half-whisked egg white and finely pounded rusk, and fried pale golden brown in lard.

4. 4

   NB. If you make them as pears, stick a whole clove in as the blossom and a small piece of whole cinnamon or a finely cut strip of candied peel as the stalk.
